Tetris on Apple TV+. A good suspense movie!
My son wanted to watch this and it was a pretty good movie! I never knew a movie about a video game could turn out to be an international suspense/spy movie!

The movie is about a guy who plays Tetris for the first time at a video game convention and seeks the licensing for the game so he can strike a deal with Nintendo. It was developed by a Russian programmer in The Soviet Union. He goes to The Soviet Union and seeks out the agency where it originated from, risking breaking Soviet law and imprisonment.

The story goes into politics, corporate battles and backstabbing over the licensing rights and involvement and meddling by the KGB.

Myself, my 13 year old and my wife were all into the movie.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was pretty fascinating to watch it all unfold.

Interesting tidbit per IMDB is that Robert Maxwell is the father of Ghislaine Maxwell. That entire family is nothing but fucking garbage.

Far more interesting than I would have guessed.
